I am needed some help choosing between Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge (with Elefun children centre); Londolozi with their Junior Tracker program or Singita. Any advise or recent first hand experiences ? Also how many nights would one recommend - choosing between 3 to 6 nights ? many thanks

For families with very young children, I find Sabi Sabi Bush Lodge to always be firm favourite. Their Elefun centre really is great! Londolozi Varty Camp is also family friendly and would also be highly recommended. Unfortunately I have no experience of a kiddies program at Singita, so cannot comment on that as an option for young children. as for how many nights - I would say as many as possible! For the adults for the safari experience, and for the children because of all the fun they will have. Many people say that you "shouldn't take your kids on safari for too long as they might get bored" - well, my 3 year old daughter is already counting the days until our next safari, as she just loves all of the fun and activities at the lodge, and even 6 nights at the right lodge would not be too many for her!

You can also have a look at Kirkmas Kamp or even Ngala Safari Lodge in Timbavati. They also have excellent kids programmes.But I think the your oriiginal choices in terms of the lodges(Sabi Sabi and Londolozi Varty are overall probably better.

Just came back from a 9 day trip to the Sabi Sand and Timbavati reserves with my 3 children (ages 5, 10 and 12). I agree with Tanya - your kids will probably love it but for very young children I would say 3 or 4 nights at one lodge is long enough. Both Londolozi and Sabi Sabi are very kid friendly, and both have fantastic traversing areas. You won't go wrong with either of them.

Enjoy!
